I have had my pc for 3months now, its been running on 64bit windows vista
home premium,but last night i downloaded an important upgrade for windows
vista ( intel corperation - video - intel(r) 82945g express chipset family)
When my computer restarted, it down graded my 64bit to 32 bit. My desktop all
the icons and toolbar was smaller and on my internet explorer the text was
small and squashed into the middle of the page. is there any way i can
change it back? thankyou

Not very likely! Maybe even very nearly impossible!

RE: an upgrade down graded me

Hi,
There's no way that a video update downgrades your Vista installation from
64-bit to 32-bit.
Maybe you meant something different.
Anyway, use system restore and put your Vista back to where it was before
the "important" update.
Other way would be to right-click on the device (Device Manager), choose
Properties, Controller and choose to go back to the previous controller.

Maybe all you need to do is to adjust the display size for
you monitor.

Uninstall the update.

Re: an upgrade down graded me

I agree, not that kind of down-grade!

I have seen one instance, though, where my graphics driver was downgraded to
a totally antiquated previous version. This could have the effect of
resetting the display properties to the 'defaults'.
